Morgan County School District Board Meeting June 16th, 2025

The Morgan County School District Board held a meeting on June 16, 2025, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. The board reviewed and approved the 2025-26 budget, which included a projected general fund deficit of approximately $197,603, with conservative assumptions such as full employment and flat state equalization revenues. They also discussed capital expenditures related to lease payments for the Pioneer construction project and insurance reserves. Additionally, the board approved the engagement of DNC Auditing and Consulting LLC as the audit firm for the district, noting a minimal increase in audit fees. A significant discussion focused on the potential reinstatement of a girls' softball program at the high school, including an estimated startup cost of around $40,000 for equipment and facilities. The board agreed to continue studying the feasibility of the softball program and to gather more data before making a final decision in November 2025. Other agenda items included policy revisions and approval of school handbooks. No immediate contract awards or RFPs were announced, but the meeting included important budget allocations and vendor selections relevant to district operations.
